Drama Ten-year-old Nojoom was forced to marry a 30-year-old man. The dowry offered the family a small income and 'one less mouth to feed'. Nojoom discovers that her life will take a turn for the worse. Her husband is indifferent to her age. Every day after she is wedded, the child works under harsh conditions and every night, the child-bride is raped by a man 20 years older than her. A legitimate and acceptable arrangement for all, except for Nojoom. [+]

United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Though it sometimes overreaches itself, the film is admirably outspoken and direct, full of authentic local color with just a touch of poetry."	POS
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"This is a film designed to draw attention to the disturbing prevalence of child marriages in Yemen, and it uses expected melodramatic flourishes to achieve its results."	POS
